Administrator Access?

I'm getting this error when clicking on links fairly often:

'The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.' I've gotten the error in Outlook as well as when I tried to launch a gaming application. I can access the link by pasting it into my browser or accessing my email over the internet and clicking the link there.

I'm using my own computer and I am the 1 and only user that I can see. How do I 1) see all the other users listed on the machine and 2) give myself administrator rights?

Thanks,
Katie

It says that I am the only user and that I am an administrator. The only other user is Guest, but it is turned off.
I'm on windows 7, btw.
Is it possible my computer is partitioned and I don't realize it? Could there be hidden users that way?
